Notes
Watch was dead...not turning on? no split and no watch for this race. Felt kinda lost at points but i was able to lock into a comfortable pace. Nothing but good words about this event. For the first annual the race director, John, staff and volunteers pieced this together very nicely. Highly recommended if it happens again next year.
First couple of miles really easy. Nice downhill start (someone said 6:15 to me) and flat ish first 2 miles. Went through town without a hiccup. Was running smoothly with a guy out of Boston but he soon fell behind. (he said he had wanted to hit a sub 3 but I think the hills caught me off guard finished somewhere around 3:10.) hit the 10k and the first major hill (Customs bridge) sent you up a down quickly. Once arriving on Campobello Island the Terrain really changed. Rolling hills from there on kept it interesting. The temperature was going in the opposite direction with the ocean breeze. Refreshing. Managed to reel one guy in and not get passed at all. The course map is deceiving for sure. and any flat sections shown really are not flat..it's all rolling with some steep climbs at parts.
